Audio engineers and music producers looking for professional audio reproduction will be impressed with this B&H Kit, which combines a pair of Avantone Pro Gauss 7 2-Way Powered Reference Monitors with a pair of Avantone Pro MP1 MixPhones Headphones to create a monitoring solution.
Modern mixing engineers can now experience the vintage sound feel of the world famous Gauss 7 Reference Monitors thanks to Avantone. You no longer have to search endlessly for an old pair of classic Gauss 7 Monitors that probably need a lot of TLC; you can now purchase brand new ones for the first time in a long, long while.
These nearfield monitors take the classic Gauss 7 Reference monitors from yesteryear and make them suitable for a modern context, offering all the old-school transient response of the original, with modern bandwidth and frequency-response specifications. With folded AMT drivers and a classic ultrasmooth tweeter, the monitors deliver accurate, detailed sound, as well as a wide sweet-spot, and precise stereo imaging.
GAU-AMT's impressive transient response comes from it's 65mm polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film folded membrane. PET film was chosen for its low-resonant-frequency qualities. It also hosts a comparatively low crossover point while still providing exceptional high-range frequency extension. The assembly is mounted in its own enclosure to prevent the backwave pressure from the woofer.
A rear-firing bass port gives Gauss 7 a controlled yet punchy low end, quite different from the typical overhyped low end found other speakers in this price range.
The black Avantone Pro MP1 MixPhones are over-ear headphones offering personal monitoring versatility, ideal for use in DJ setups, studio recording, mixing playback, and live stage applications. Their 50mm drivers yield a frequency response of 18 Hz to 25 kHz. They ship with two cables, threaded 1/4" adapters, and a soft carrying bag.
The MixPhones design boasts three modes—standard stereo, a mono configuration, and a mix mode. The mix mode contours the mid frequencies to produce a sound similar to that of MixCube near-field monitors, allowing for better translation when checking mixes.
Thick padding and oversized earcups offer comfort and isolation. The pivot design grants enhanced positioning and storage options.
